When Longview travels to face McKinney Week 1, there could be 20 D1 players on the field between the two programs. Including the #1 RB in Texas and the #1 safety in Texas.

McKinney...

RB Bryan Jackson - (USC commit)
RB/OLB Makhi Frazier - (11 D1 offers)
WR Khali Best - (1 D1 offer)
WR Sincere Blakely - (2 D1 offers)
TE Khristian Mackintrush - (1 D1 offer)
LB Riley Pettijohn - (16 D1 offers)
CB Zay Gentry - (15 D1 offers)
CB Ashton McShane (12 D1 offers)
DL Jordan Covington - (2 D1 offers)
Edge Jonathan Agumadu - (2 D1 offers)
S Xavier Filsaime - (Florida commit, #1 safety in Texas)

They will have a defensive starting lineup where 7 of the 11 starters have D1 offers. Frazier being recruited at RB but was first team all district as OLB last year.

Longview...

RB Taylor Tatum - (39 offers, #1 RB in Texas)
WR DK Reese - (2 D1 offers)
LB Brenden Reese - (1 D1 offer)
DB Willie Nelson - (Oklahoma State commit)
S Buddha Garrett - (7 D1 offers)
S Chase Smith - (2 D1 offers)

 

Longview returns the most all state players of any 5A team. This one should probably be televised to showcase the talent.

With snapshot coming this fall for realignment year, here are current enrollments for teams in the district....and other enrollments of interest:

Longview 2,361 (2,170 at HS, 191 at LEAD....LEAD calculations will probably put Longview more in the 2,200s somewhere)
Forney 2,272
Lancaster 2,250
West Mesquite 2,172
Lufkin 2,170
Tyler 2,164
McKinney North 2,156
North Mesquite 2,087

Desoto 2,216
Crandall 1,707 (lower enrollment, but with heavy growth in the northern portion of the district in the Forney area, folks are saying that they're about to explode)
Highland Park 2,252
Red Oak 2,160
Dallas Adams 2,271
Dallas Molina 2,074
Dallas Sunset 2,187
Dallas White 2,149

Current 6A cutoff is 2,225. It was 2,220 the alignment before that.

Maybe the best defense in Longview Lobo history is brewing....

A big reason why is the middle of the defense. The '25 LB tandem of Brenden Reese and Kason Brooks will be deadly.

Reese already has a D1 offer from Texas State, and may not be the better of the two...

Both could be involved in Longview's backfield this fall too.
